POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts

In case you have an email account with your own domain and not a 3rd-party one, you will be able to use an email software application such as Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird to access and manage your emails. The advantage of using such applications is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two different email protocols that you can choose from when you configure the app of your choice to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all email messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – desktop or mobile, unless you decide to keep a copy on the email server. With the second one, the messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will remain on the server at all times, so you can set up the email account on numerous devices and see the email messages from any place. You will also be able to see old emails in case there’s a predicament with your Internet connectivity, which is an enormous advantage over web-based email services.

You’ll be able to use any email client and any desktop or mobile device to access your emails if you purchase any of our Linux shared web hosting. Our email servers offer support for both email delivery protocols (POP3 and IMAP), so you can choose the one that fulfills your demands – you can download all emails on your PC or you can store the messages on the mail server in case you’ve got a firm and a number of employees need to get access to them, for instance. You can even download an auto-configuration file for a certain email account for any of the three most popular desktop clients – Apple Mail, Outlook and Thunderbird. You’ll just have to run the file on your PC and that email account will be set up automatically. In case you’d rather use your phone, we have added comprehensive tutorials on how to configure an email account on an Android- or an iOS-powered mobile device.

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting give you total independence with regards to how and where you can use any email address that you create through our Hepsia Control Panel. As we support both IMAP and POP3, you’ll be able to set up a mailbox on any device irrespective of the OS in use – a desktop computer, a laptop or a smartphone. You can download even our auto-configuration files for Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook and have a new email account automatically set up with your preferred program. You’ll not have to do anything manually. Our elaborate tutorials with step-by-step screenshots will show you how to configure an email account on an iPhone or an Android mobile phone. With any of these devices, you can decide if the email messages should be downloaded or if they should remain on the email server. If you choose the latter option, you’ll be able to check your messages from multiple locations.

Our Linux VPS web hosting come with a pre-installed email server, so you can host a domain, then create a mailbox and set it up in an email software app as soon as your VPS is completely functional. We support both IMAP and POP3 connections by default, so you won’t have to install anything manually. If your VPS comes with cPanel or with our Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll even be able to download auto-configuration files for Apple Mail, Outlook and Thunderbird, which will save you time and energy when you have to set up an account in any of these apps. You will also be able to send out as many email messages as you want – the VPSs have their own SMTP server, which tackles the outgoing messages. With our packages, you’ll be able to send and receive email messages from any location and any device. You can set up a mailbox even on your mobile phone.
